Amazing! Hope the remaining "MS will abandon the 360" comments will end cause.....ya, its been 7.5 years, 8 in November. Ya... :)

They did abandon the 360... for the next console!

Can't tell if serious.....

Its still selling last I checked. 3rd parties still making games. Gears Judgement, Battleblock Theatre, Monaco, Forza Horizon free update, some nice XBLA games this summer. We are all aware that MS has limited studios and they are all working on next gen, but that 360 is on sale, means it is still supported.

People argue that they'll abandon the 360 when they RELEASE their next gen platform. Like they did with the original Xbox for the 360.

Even then, its 8 years. Double the lfie cycle of the origional Xbox. So it makes 0 sense...and we know with its current prices they still have room for price drops and more shelf life.
